DISK CULTIVATOR.

QPECIF ICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 743,220, datedNovember 3, 1903.

Application filed May 18, 1903.

Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in DiskCultivators, of which the following is a specification, reference beinghad therein to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a planv1ew of the cultivator;

Fig. 2, a vertical sectional View taken on the line 11 II of Fig. 1;Fig. 3, a detail plan view of one section of the cultivaton showing aslightly-different arrangement of the plows;

Fig. 4, a detail view of the means for connecting thecultivator-sections to the couplingframe; Fig. 5, a similar view of aslightly-different form of connecting means; Fig. 6, a detail verticalsectional view of one of the disks and its supporting-bearing; Fig. 7, avertical sectionalview on line VIIVII of Fig. 6; Fig. 8, a horizontalsectional View through the lower end of a disk-carrying standard and theconnectingpiece; Fig. 9, a vertical seetional view of one of the forwardfurrow-guiding wheels, and Fig; 10 a detail elevation thereof.

One of the objects of this invention is to provide means for connectingor coupling together the two sections of a two-row disk cultivator orharrow or other like implement in such manner that said coupling shallconnect the two sections and yet permit each section to shiftindependently to accommodate itself to the unevenness of the ground andto further permit said sections to be readily adjusted to the distancebetween the rows of plants to be cultivated.

Another object of the invention is to provide forward furrow-wheelsadapted to travel in the old furrows and corresponding rearfurrow-wheels to travel in the new furrows made by the disks and tomount the disks at a point between the two sets of furrow-wheels. Bythis means any lateral movement of the sections is prevented, saidsections being held by the furrow-wheels against such side motion.

Another object of the invention is to provide means whereby the draftwill be applied to devices connected to the forward forrow-wheels insuch manner that \the draft -S e1-ie.INo.157,56'7. (No model.)

will tend to maintain said wheels in the furrows. 1

vide an efficient and practically universally adjustable means formounting the disks.

vide means whereby the disks and shovelbeams of each cultivator-sectionmay be simultaneously raised or lowered.

Other objects and advantages will appear hereinafter.

Referring to the various parts by numerals, 1 designates thecouplingframe, which is extend transversely of the machine and arelocated a suitable distance from each other, their outer ends beingconnected by the end bars 2. This frame is preferably formed ofcylindrical metal tubing, but of course it may be formed of any suitablematerial. Two cultivator-sections are adjustably connected to thiscoupling-frame, one of said sections being near each end thereof. Eachof these frames is formed with the parallel side bars 3, which are ofangle-iron, one member of which is horizontal and extends inward, theother member being vertical. Connecting these horizontal side bars arethe forward and rear bars 4 and 5, respectively, these bars being formedof two narrow strips spaced a short distance apart to form a long spaceor slot between them. These forward and rear bars are connected at apoint midway their ends by 'a central longitudinal bar 6, which is alsoconstructed of two narrow strips spaced apart to form the long slot orspace 7 between them. Mounted on this longitudinal bar 6 are twoadjustable blocks 8, these blocks being located directly over thetransversebars of the coupling-frames. Rotatably mounted in each of theblocks 8 is a depending hanger 9, which carries at its lower end agrooved roller 10, said grooved roller engaging the lower surface of theadjacent bar of the coupling-frame, the hanger extending over andembracing said bar, so that it is loosely held between the roller andthe hanger. By this means the cultivatorsections will bepermanentlyconnected to the coupling-frame, while at the same time theymay be readily adjusted inward or outward on said frame Another objectof the invention is to pro- A further object of the invention is toproformed of two parallel horizontal bars which and will move freely toaccommodate the disks or other implements supported thereby to theunevenness of the ground. Each of the blocks 8 is formed of the upperand lower plates 11. These plates have side flanges 12, which engage theedges of the bar 6 and are adj ustably held in position by bolts 18.

Instead of arranging the coupling frame below the cultivatorsections, asshown in Figs. 1 and 2, it may be arranged above said sections, as shownin Fig. 5. In this latter arrangement the guide-roller 10 is mounted ina vertical standard 9, whose lower end is pivotally mounted in theadjustable box 8. This box 8 is secured to the central longitudinal bar6 of the cultivator-section. In this form of the device it will be notedthat the standard 9 projects above the section-frame and that the sidebar 1 of the coupling-frame rests on the top of this roller. The upperbar of the standard 9 extends over the bar of the coupling-frame,so-that said bar is held in engagement with the guide-roller. It willthus be seen that the cultivator-sections may be readily adjusted in andout-that is, trans verselyon the coupling-frame, the connection betweenthe sections and the couplingframe being a rolling one. It will also benoted that the sections may tilt toward their inner or their outeredges, the points at which the bearing-rollers engage the rods of thecoupling frame being directly in line with each other and at thetransverse centers of the sections. By this means the cultivatordiskswill be permitted to adjust themselves to the unevenness and inequalityin the soil. In all f urrow-following machines the furrow-wheels shouldbe guided by the furrows, and said guidance should be sufficient toovercome any ordinary tendency to deflect said wheels therefrom-such,for instance, as the tendency of the wheels to be deflected from thelineof draft by crooked furrows and like causes. Such wheels, however,should be turnable in their mountings upon a vertical pivot when desiredto permit the machine to be turned at the ends of the furrows. To attainthese objects, I mount on the forward bar of each section two forwardfurrow-wheels 14, one of said furrow-wheels being on each side of thelongitudinal center of the section. Each wheel 14 is journaled on thelower end of a vertical bar 15, which at its upper end is pivotallymounted in a block 16, said block being adj usrably mounted on theforward bar of the section frame. To the upper end of the bar 15, abovethe block 16, is rigidly secured a forward extending arm 17. The lowerend of the inner bar 15 is bent inward horizontally toward the innerside bar of the section-frame, the lower end of the outer bar 15 beingbent outward horizontally toward the outer side bar of thesection-frame, and on these horizontal portions 15 the furrowwheels arej ournaled. Pivotally mounted on a vertical bolt 18, secured in theforward bar of each section-frame, is a forWard-extendin g draft-bar 19.Pivotally connected to the forward ends of the arm 17 areinward-extending adjustable links 20, said links being formed with aseries of perforations by which they are adj ustably connected to thedraftbar 19, a bolt 21 passing through said draftbar and the adjacentperforations of the adjustable links. As the furrow-wheels may beadjusted laterallyt-hat is, along the forward bar of the section-fra1nethe links may be correspondingly adjusted to maintain the arms 17parallel with each other and with the central draft-bar 19. Thewhifl'letree or other draft connection may be pivotally mounted in theforward end of the draftbar.

It will be readily understood that a direct forward draft on thedraft-bar 19 will tend to maintain the furrow wheels in the furrows andwill aid very materially in preventing said wheels being deflected fromthe furrows by reason of any crookedness or unevenness thereof. The twolinks 20 form an adjustable sway-bar by which when the draft is intentionally deflected the furrow-wheels will be turned and be caused toleave the furrows. It will thus be seen that considerable side draftmust be exerted on the draft-bar 19 before the furrow-wheels will bedeflected from the furrows by which they are guided, this actuallyoccurring only at the ends of the rows or furrows and when it is desiredto turn the machine. As before stated, the furrow-wheels may be adjustedon the forward bar of the section-frame to adapt them to enter thefurrows, and the links 20 may be correspondingly adjusted. It will benoted that the furrow-wheels of the right-hand section of thecultivator, as shown in the drawings, are separated a considerabledistance, while those of the left-hand section are quite close together.

In that type of disk cultivators in which the disks are attached to therear edge of the cultivator-frame and extend back or in. the rear of thefurrow-wheels the disks have considerable un governed or uncontrolledside motion or lateral movement, and are therefore altogether uncertainin operation. I completely overcome such objections by my arrangement ofdisks and furrow-wheels and at the same time provide for the independentadjustment of each disk and each furrow-wheel, whereby the said disksand furrow-wheels may be so located in relation to each other as tosecure the best coaction thereof.

To the forward bar of each section-frame are secured two depending diskcarrying standards 22, one of said standards being secured to said baron each side of the longitudinal center of the section-frame. Each ofsaid standards is formed at its upper edge with the flanges 23, whichengage the outer edges of the bar 4 and prevent said standard rotating.Each of said standards is also formed with a central upward extendingthreaded projection 24:, which extends through the slot of the bar 4.Fitting over the bar 4 is a cap-1ike plate 25, said plate engaging theside edges of the bar and being firmly secured in place by a nut screweddown on the projection 24. By these means the diskcarrying standards arefirmly but adjustably connected to the forward bars of thesectionframes. The lower end of each disk-carry: ing standard is formedon its rear face with a rose-face or circular series of radialserrations 27, through the center of which extends a clamping-bolt 28.Adjustably connected to the standard by means of this bolt is arearward-extendingconnecting-piece 29, the forward end of which isformed with serrations'to fit the serrations on the standard 22, wherebythe two parts will be adjustably connected and the connecting-piece willbe prevented from swinging around on the clam ping-bolt. One side of therearward-extending part 29 of this connecting-piece is formed with arose-face or series of serrations, and its other side is smooth.Connected to this this part 29 is a rearwardcxtending diskcarrying arm30, whose forward end is formed smooth on one side and serrated on theother to correspond with the serrated end of the part 29, whereby saiddiskcarrying arm may be connected to the connecting-piece 29 by aswinging connection or by an adjustable but non-swinging connection, aswill be readily understood. The disk-carrying arms of the left-handsection of the cultivator shown in the drawings are connected to theparts 29, so as to have a swinging connection therewith, the smoothsurface of the said arm being clamped to the smooth surface of theconnecting-piece, while the disk-carrying arms of the right-hand sectionof the cultivator are connected to the pieces 29 by an ad justable butnon-swinging connection, the serrated faces of said arms being connectedto the correspondingly-serrated faces of the parts 29. a

The rear end of each disk-carrying arm, on the under side thereof, isformed with the serrated face 31, with which is adapted to engage theserrated upper face of the yoke 32, whose under surface fits over thejournalbox 33 of the cultivator-disk 34. Extending through the lower endof the disk-carrying arm and through the yoke 32 is a clampingbolt 35,whose lower end is formed into an eye 36,which loosely receives thejournal-box, its upper end being threaded to receive a nut, said nutbearing onthe upper side of the disk-carrying arm. By this means it willbe seen that the disk journal-box 33 will be strongly clamped to the arm30, the clamping-bolt drawing said box up into the yoke 32 and rigidlyclamping the yoke to the lower side of the disk-carrying arm. It willalso be readily understood that by means of the intermeshing serratedfaces of the disk-carrying arm and the yoke 32'the disk may be.

adjusted at any desired angle with respect to the line of draft. Bymeans of the adjustable connection between the connecting-piece 29 andthe standard 22 the disk may be given any desired inclination withrespect to a vertical line, and by means of the adjustable connectionbetween the forward end of the disk-carrying arm and the piece 29 thedisk may be given any vertical adjustment desired. The disk-carryingarms are of such length that the disks are supported about midwaybetween the forward and rear bars of the section-frames and below thecenter of the coupling-frame for a purpose which will appearhereinafter.

On the rear bar of each section-frame are mounted two large farrow-wheels 87, said wheels being journaled on standards 38. Thesestandards are adjustably secured to the bar 5 by means of the boxes 39and the nut 40. The lower end of each of these standards is benthorizontally to correspond with the bent end of the adjacent standardcarrying the forward furrow-wheel, and on these bent ends are journaledthe furrow-wheels 37. It will thus be seen that the cultivatordisksofeach section are supported between the forward and rear furrow-wheelsand that therefore they willbe prevented from causing any lateralmovement of the cultivatorsections. The rear furrow-wheels are providedontheir inner edges with vertical flanges 41, which enter the earth andaid considerably in preventing any lateral movement of the sections.These furrow-wheels 37 are to be adjusted to follow in the furrows madeby the cultivator-disks, while the forward furrow-wheels are to beadjusted to follow in the old furrows. It will therefore be seen thatthe sections will be firmly held against any tendency to move laterallybot-h by the fact that the disks are mounted between the forward andrear furrow-wheels and by the fact that said disks are mounted at aboutthe transverse center of the machine.

With the listing-cultivators now in use the earth is turned out on therid ge-that is, away from the cornthe first time the cultivator is runover the listed corn. The second time over the corn the earth is turnedin--that is, on the corn. My invention permits the machine to be soconstructed that loan go over the corn twice, turning the ground out,and the third time over I can set the disks to turn the ground in to thecorn. The rear fur row-wheels are to be placed in the track of thedisks, whether said disks are turning the earth away from the corn or into the corn, and they are especially effective when going over the cornfor the third time to turn the earth inward to the corn, the disksduring this latter operation moving the earth a considerable distance,and thereby causing considerable lateral pressure or strain on thecultivator'frames. By placing the rear wheels in the furrow or track ofthe disks they prevent lateral motion of the frames, taking up the sidethrust of the disks.

Mounted in the side bars of each sectionframe at about the transversecenter of said section is a horizontal rock-shaft 42, to which aresecured two upward and rearward extending arms 43, one of these armsbeing arranged on each sideof the longitudinal center of the section.Each arm 43 is connected to the adjacent disk-carrying arm by a rod 44,said rod being adjustable along the arm 43 at the outer, end thereof bymeans of a series of perforations in said arm. These arms are adjustablealong the rock-shaft to correspond to the lateral adjustment of thestandard 17 and may be rigidly clamped to said rock-shaft by means ofsuitable clamping-screws. Connected to each rock-shaft, near the innerend thereof, is an upward-extending lever 45, by which the shaft may berocked, a suitable segment-rack and latch being provided to lock saidlever and the rock-shaft in any desired position. By this means it willbe readily seen that when the disk carrying arms are connected to theconnecting-pieces 29 by a swinging connection, as shown in the lefthandsection of the cultivator, the disks may be raised from the ground bythrowing forward the lever 45. When the disk-carrying arms are connectedto the connecting-pieces V 29 by means of the non-swinging adjustment,

as shown in the right-hand section of the cultivator, the rod 44 isdisconnected from the disk-carrying arm.

On the rock-shafts 42 between the arm 43 are secured rearward-extendingsocket-pieces 46, to which are secured the rearward-extending plow-beams47, said beams at their rear lower ends carrying the plow-shovels 48.The sockets 46 are adjustable along the rockshafts to secure theirproper relative positions with respect to the rear furrow-wheels and tothe cultivator-disks and may be securely clamped in position by suitableclamping screws. point slightly in the rear of the rear furrowwheels. Itwill be noted that the disks and plows of each section of the cultivatormay be simultaneously raised when the disks are supported, as shown inthe left-hand section of the cultivator. It will also be noted that bymounting the plow-beams on the rockshaft and supporting the rock-shafton the cultivator-frame at a point between the forward and rearfurrow-wheels the tendency of the plows to shift the cultivator-frame orthe f urrow-wheels is effectively resis ed by the furrow-wheels.

Any suitable form of journal may be employed for supporting thecultivator-disks and the furrow-wheels; but I prefer to employdust-proof journals, as illustrated in Figs. 6, 7, 9, and 10. Thecultivator-disks 34 are each formed with a central aperture, in which issecured the hub 50, which is provided with an outwardextending radialflange 51, to which the cultivator-disk is rigidly secured by rivetingor other means, This hub is formed at its center with aninward-extending recess to receive the inner end of a spindle or shaft52. The inner end of this spindle is secured rigidly in the hub The plow-beams extend to a.

by means of a transverse bolt 53. Fitting closely against the inner faceof the hub and receiving the spindle is the wooden journalbox 33, theyoke 32 fitting the upper surface of this box, as previously described.Formed on the inner edge of this yoke is a flange 53, which extends overthe joint between the hub and the journal-box and protects said joint,preventing dirt and dust from entering therein. Secured to the outer endof the spindle is a cap 55, which is formed with an inwardextendingannular flange 56, which embraces the outer end of the journal-box 32and prevents dirt and dust entering between the j ournal and thespindle. It will thus be seen that the spindle will be thoroughlyprotected and that dirt and dust cannot enter the journalbox.

The furrow-wheels are preferably formed of sheet metal and are providedwith one vertical face 14 and a tread 14 Through the vertical face ofthe wheel is formed a central aperture, in which is fitted an open-endedsleeve 57, said sleeve being formed with an outward-extending flangewhich fits against the inner face of the vertical side of the wheel andis rigidly secured thereto. WVithin this sleeve and rigidly boltedthereto is a journal-box 58, said box being closed at its outer end andopen at its inner end, a radial flange being formed on said box at theinner end thereof. The journal 15 of the supportingstandard 15 fitswithin the journal-box, and

mounted on the vertical part of the standard is an adjustable dust-cap59. This dust-cap is formed on its under side with a groove whichreceives the upper part of the radial flange on the journal-box and notonlyserves to exclude dust from the journal-box, but also acts as aretaining means by which the furrow-wheel is held upon the journal. Thiscap may be secured in position by any suitable means, a set-screw beingshown in the drawings for this purpose. It is obvious that by simplyloosening the set-screw 60 and raising the dust-cap free of the flangeof the journal-box the furrow-wheel may be readily removed from itsjournal.

It is obvious that as many plow-beams as desired may be secured to therock-shafts 42. In Fig. 3 four are mounted on said shaft, two on eachside of each rear furrow-wheel. In this arrangement of the plow-beamsthose near the side bars of the frame may be bent laterally near theirrear ends.
